8/10GRID is a racing game that did not let you drive like crazy and crashing all the stuff in your way (just like in Need For Speed) nor it is too realistic to give you penalty for driving through the grass or disqualified you for just losing a front bumper (like in F1) . So this game has a nice balance between realism and arcade, that is what makes this game is enjoyable and fun for casual gamers and racing enthusiast alike. This game also welcomed newbie or pro racing gamer. For newbie you can turn on all the driving assist in the game so the driving will be more simple and easy to learn, or if you feel like racing game is your everyday life you can turn off all the driving assist for more complex driving and customize the driving options so the car will perform like what you expect.

As for the graphics, although this is an old game (realeased in 2007) the graphics of this game is still feel good and comparable to current game graphics. The best thing about the graphics is the car crash effect, it looks so realistic !! see it for yourself here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fH2KUrNow7s

But for me, the best thing about this game is that all race events in the game are based on actual official racing event, from the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans to the brutal American Demolition Derby (so don't expect any ilegal street racing in this game! ).

It's refreshing not having the option to disable abs braking. It adds an extra level of difficulty, knowing slamming on the brakes too hard will lock up your tires and render your steering input useless.

You get to create a paint scheme for your team, choose sponsors that reward you for winning, and hire a team mate. Its all stuff you really don't see anywhere. It really sets this game apart.

UGLY YELLOW TINT EVERYWHERE. I don't know why codemasters thought it was a good idea to make everything in the game look yellow from the sun.

Graphically this is one of the most realistic car racing simulation games I've ever played aside from Sony's Gran Turismo series. There are lots of disciplines of racing to work with and lots of practice modes to brush up on your skills to become a racing master. My roommate is from Long Beach and when I showed him the Long Beach track on GRID, he remembers all the memories of where he worked and where his former apartment was etc, so if he can remember all these things I say the developers paid close attention to detail when designing these tracks. I use an XBOX 360 Controller to play the game so your experience may differ. If your looking for a racing experience that is different from the rest, try this game for sure. Just be sure to use the practice modes (Race Day) before taking on the story mode.

im Not a fan of racing games . (im very ultra extremely picky about everything sometimes)

I ONLY drive the Nissan Skyline in this game .

big fan of "Initial D" and Mount Akina . just for that this game is a must buy !

100/100 worth every ¢ent . I got more than what I expected .

this game is excellent . especially if you have driving equipment for the PC . ( can also be played with just a keyboard )

each run is Truly-Unique because you can take corners all sorts of different ways . or make a mistake where you didn't before ANYTHING Can happen ! this game requires the upkeep-of-focus & concentration .

you can really "feel" everything and become one with the car .

from the pull of gravity at high speeds , with manual transmission the clutch , shifting up and down perfectly to the topography of the tracks to maintain Top-Speed , timing-the-braking , knowing when to let off the gas-pedal all while paying attention to the road and trying not to force RPM's is enough of a challenge . Especially in the trecharous mountains of Japan .

By far one of the best racing games. By no means a simulation, its provided me with hours of fun. Drifting is a blast (although tricky sometimes) and demolition derbies are just glorious carnage. There is enough track diversity that they never get old, but they still feel familiar.

My only complaint is that it can feel like a grind getting podium finishes to rank up/

One of the best track based racing games I've played so far. It's the perfect blend of arcade and realistic to allow anyone who is interested in racing games regardless of your skill level to play. It's also very good looking for a game from 2008 with a detailed interior view with working mirrors. Decent selection of cars to collect with a bunch more to get with some modding to get the DLC in the game. The only let down is that the multiplayer is long gone now with only the LAN option available to play. I would recommend anyone that likes or is interested in racing games to pick this great game up. On sales it's usually £2.50 which is a bargain. 9/10

This is an amazing game. Great cars, tracks etc. One of the best racing games out there I've seen. The career can be rough, but it's nothing too hard after a while. Really recommend it to anyone who likes games like Need for Speed.

Race Driver: GRID is quite likely the last wholly enjoyable experience offered by a Codemasters title on PC. There's not really anything bad to say about it. Cars handle nicely, there's a fun variety of events (Drift and Togue in particular have eaten up a lot of my time), and the head-to-head battles with other Racing teams have some surprisingly excellent music. It plays well, sounds great, and looks very pretty. Highly recommended to just about anyone.

So I bought this game not really knowing what to expect. I'm into racing games, but mostly the Need For Speed series. This game is certainly the most unique racing game I've played. Keep in mind that I haven't played NFS: ProStreet or Shift, so I can't make a comparison with those games.

GRID is a racing game that attempts to simulate a professional's driving career, and in my opinion, succeeds for the most part. You're allowed to create your own team name, colors, and run just about everything else. You can buy cars, hire drivers to gain more points for your team, etc. However, you never seem to pay for damages taken to your car, which might irk some who want extreme realism. You also have the option of accepting other teams' offers and driving for them to earn some extra cash. Along the way, you'll gain sponsors, which you can put on your car to gain extra money if you meet the company's requirements for the race (e.g. Get above 2nd, win $4K).

The biggest aspect of the game is, of course, the driving. I'd say it's one of the best handling and realistic driving mechanisms I've played, especially for PC and using a keyboard. The options menu gives you control over how sensitive key presses send your car so that you're not constantly hitting left and right to straighten your car (although you still have to do that sometimes, but not often). The stats of each car accurately correspond to how they handle on the track, and there's a variety of classes and brands to choose from.

One thing I'll say, if you're used to racing Need For Speed, get ready for a rude awakening from the world of realist driving games. You can't just press up and bounce off cars and walls constantly to get a win. If you hit things, your car will take damage, and the way it's shown on the car is very accurate. Take too many hits and you'll start damaging things like the wheels, transmission, etc. If you slam into something too hard, you're out of the race. Braking is very imporant in this game and it'll take a few tries (and wrecks) to get the hang of it, but after you learn, the game is a blast.

So far, multiplayer hasn't worked for me. Perhaps they took it down. Even if they did, though, the single player is enough to keep you extremely entertained and have your heart pounding. The AI is very well programmed, trying to avoid hitting you and taking routes that a normal pro driver would. The tracks are very nice, with some (I'm not sure if all) using real-life tracks. The soundtrack is very good too, although you won't notice it most of the time, as the driving takes most of your focus.

Overall, a very good racing game. There are a few nitpicks I have like how your spotter sometimes says, "You took some damage, but it's nothing serious.", even though your car can be severely damaged. The graphics can also wear on your computer, so if you have a sub-par graphics setup, then make sure you can run the game first before buying it. They look very good though, even on lower FPS the game looks to run smoothly. Like I said, an adrenaline rush that is worth the money (even moreso if it's on sale).

Great game. If you enjoy a racing simulation this will keep you entertained for hous on end. Driving is simple and very easy and quite honestly the games heaps of fun. Maybe it's just me but my favorite part are the midnight touges intense fun and much like fast and furious tokyo drift. i think the drifting on the game has a bit of a learning curve to it but it's not that bad but that might just be me. Buy the game, you wouldn't regret it.

A racer with a really nice balance between arcade and realism, and quite a large variety of motorsports; open-wheel formula racing, Tōge, drifting, even a demolition derby and a (truncated) version of 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Still one of the best racing games released in the past 5 years or so.

The first and also the best Grid game! It has a detailed cockpit view, unlike Grid Autosport... The graphics are pretty good for a 2008 game. I still play it regularly even though it's 6 years old by now. The SP is great (I spent around 25-30 hours to complete the SP), this game is definately worth it's money!

Well, I am officially the worse driver in this game. I float so much it's like drifting, and I am bad at drifting. It's a pretty fun game, but I am too use to NFS that it's quite hard to get use to any other kind of driving mechanics. I am button happy lol.
